It is just over the border and not all that far from Tipp Town. Galbally would be her home parish but not be an indication of where James would have lived. Probably not all that far away though. The date is good as well as the husband's name and the wife's Christian name. It could also be that this was her second marriage having married a Donnell first. Something like that can create real confusion.
